David Silva came to the door of coach Benitez's office anxiously.
The young man who came out of the Canary Islands stood up straight, raised his head, and looked at the white aluminum door. After hesitating for two seconds, he looked at his clothes and made sure there was nothing wrong with him. Then he took a deep breath and stretched out his arms.
Take action.
"Come in!"
Just after two knocks, the voice of head coach Benitez came from inside.
Still so familiar, so cold as if there was no warmth at all.
David Silva took another deep breath before pushing the door open and entering.
"Sir, you called me?" David Silva's voice trembled slightly.
Benitez was sitting in front of the computer on his desk. The sound of the game video came from the impression on the table. He should be watching the video and studying his opponents. This is exactly the same as the rumors David Silva heard.
.
Some people's entertainment is picking up girls and drinking, some people's entertainment is traveling and visiting, and some people's entertainment is eating and drinking, while Benitez's entertainment is watching game videos.
This is definitely a weird fighter!
David Silva couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of this. When he saw Benitez beckoning him to sit across from him, he immediately resisted and came to the desk opposite and sat upright.
Benitez paused the video and looked at the skinny boy from the Canary Islands in front of him.
"I once coached in Tenerife. Your hometown is beautiful. It has dreamlike scenery, boundless sea of clouds, and the purest sky in the world. I heard that it is also the origin of canaries."
Canary means canary in Spanish.
Perhaps because of his experience in Tenerife, Benitez rarely spoke to David Silvado.
"The soil and water there can always cultivate players with imagination, outstanding footwork, delicate and sensitive emotions, such as Deportivo Belleron. I heard that you are from the same village as him?"
"Yes, sir!" David Silva didn't understand what Benitez wanted to say.
Benitez nodded, and very rarely, he saw a faint smile on his face, which was fleeting.
David Silva even doubted whether he had seen it wrong.
"Someone suggested to me that you are a trustworthy player. What do you think?"
David Silva was a little panicked because he didn't know what was going on.
But he is a smart boy, and he quickly reacted and realized that what the head coach was talking about was about the Champions League semi-final against Monaco.
There has been some discussion about the 2-3 formation.
He can play as a left winger and an attacking midfielder, and can even play on the right as an inverse right winger.
"I...I don't know, sir." David Silva hesitated.
He was only eighteen years old, had just joined the first team, and hadn't even established himself yet. He was really unsure when he asked this question all of a sudden.
"He has full confidence in you. He thinks you can do it well." Benitez continued.
David Silva was very panicked and wanted to know who gave him such a high evaluation?
The first person that popped into his mind was Su Dong!
The guy who always likes to touch his head because of his height, making him always look up and giving him admiration!
"This is a very important game, David. There is no room for any mistakes. I want to hear your own thoughts. Do you think you can do it?" Benitez stared at David Silva and asked.
road.
David Silva hesitated.
He has played for the first team, but never in such an important game, not even as a substitute.
Is this too risky and childish?
But soon, he thought of another point. Isn't this an opportunity for him?
Aimar has been injured, and Canobbio has never been trusted by Benitez. If he really plays in this game, if he can really perform to the satisfaction of the head coach, then he will be
Got through it.
But is he really ready?
"I don't know, sir." David Silva still shook his head, but his originally confused eyes became much clearer.
Obviously, he already knew what was going on.
"Well, you go back and think about it carefully and give me the answer tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Benitez issued an eviction order.
…
David Silva left Benitez's office with his head hanging down and in despair.
The expression on his face was complicated, including excitement, fear, panic, and even a hint of regret.
Yesterdam was watching from the coach's office next door. When David Silva walked away, he got up and went to Benitez's office. After closing the door, he walked over.
"It still feels a little too tender!" Jestedam commented.
Benitez nodded, "It's true that he is young, has good strength, and is aware of it, but he is a little timid."
"I'm afraid that's not possible, right?" Yesterdam shook his head.
Players who are timid will definitely be in a hurry once they get on the court. This is the semi-finals of the Champions League. How many professional players dream of playing in it?
If that's the case, letting him fall in love would be a bad thing!
"Don't be so hasty to draw a conclusion, Paco!" Benitez waved his hand, "Some players look fearless and speak with great pride before the game. But when it comes to an emergency, he softens faster than anyone else.
"Some players are timid and weak because they are not ready. When he figures it out, he will have more courage than anyone else."
When Yesterdam thought about it, there was a certain truth. Players of both types were not uncommon.
"I have looked at David Silva's training with the first team this season, as well as the reports on his several appearances, and they do not show that he has any signs of timidity. This is not a timid and fearful person.
Responsible player!"
Yesterdam also nodded. Judging from several performances this season, David Silva is quite satisfactory.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Su Dong spoke highly of him, and he has been training with Su Dong. From the training point of view, the two people have a good tacit understanding. Although they are attacking midfielders, they will
Facing Monaco's two defensive midfielders, we all know that the real pressure is on Su Dong. Aimar can do it, and David Silva can also do it."
"To organize and control the rhythm of the game, Alberda and Baraja are there, and the defense is also there. All David Silva needs to do is to connect with Su Dong, Vicente and Rufete, before the opponent's double midfielders, horizontally
It's actually not that difficult to cruise around and distribute the ball and pass through balls when you have the chance."
As long as Su Dong can hold up Monaco's defense, and both defensive midfielders must take care of protecting the defense, then the pressure on the front midfielder will not be great, and Aimar's body may not be much better than David Silva.
"The whole world has now decided that we will adopt a 4-4-2 formation because Aimar is absent. But if we suddenly use David Silva at this time, Deschamps will definitely not expect it!"
Yesterdam looked at his boss in surprise, "Isn't this a bit risky?"
In the assistant's memory, Benitez has always been the most risk-averse.
"Excessive measures are used at extraordinary times. Besides, with Paco and Su Dong at the front, our error tolerance rate at the back will be much higher. The risk may not be that great."
Yesterdam was convinced.
Even Benitez, who has always been conservative and risk-averse, figured it out. It was definitely a sure thing.
"Now, the biggest question is this kid, does he dare?"
This is the biggest problem right now!
…………
…………
Leaving Benitez's office like a zombie, David Silva went straight to the gym.
Sure enough, Su Dong is still here.
What is rare is that this boy Vicente is also there.
The two were training there, talking and laughing, and the topic of conversation was also about the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
David Silva sat aside, silent, listening to them chatting, feeling like he was listening to a book from heaven.
Once, he thought that all this would be far, far away from him, so far away that he could not touch it at all. He was even worried about whether he would ever have the chance to play in a Champions League knockout round in his life, let alone the semi-finals.
But suddenly, he was like a lucky man who had been hit by a piece of pie falling from the sky, and he was completely dizzy.
My mind seemed to be split into two people. One said yes and bravely agreed to him; the other said no. You are still young. What if something goes wrong?
The two voices kept intertwining, and neither could convince the other, which made David Silva's head feel as big as a fight.
Finally, he simply closed his eyes, raised his head, and tried not to think about anything.
The question is, how could you not want to?
He was so irritated that he wanted to scratch his head, pull out the two fighting guys inside, and give him a severe lesson, but he knew that even if he did, he still wouldn't be able to solve this problem.
question.
Want it or not?
"It's so difficult!" David Silva took a long breath and muttered.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Su Dong's smiling voice came over.
David Silva suddenly opened his eyes and found that at some point, he, Su Dong, Nuno Cruz and others were the only ones left in the gym packing their things in the distance.
He didn't even notice when Vicente left.
"Have you met the boss?" Su Dong used his left hand to remove the bandage on the palm of his right hand and sat down next to David Silva.
David Silva hummed, nodded and said, "I saw him, he told me everything."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Su Dong asked with a smile.
David Silva understands what Su Dong means. This is indeed a good thing, and even a God-given opportunity. Many young players can't wait for the perfect opportunity. If it weren't for Su Dong, he probably wouldn't have been able to wait for this in his life.
Chance.
In his heart, he was full of gratitude to Su Dong, but at the same time, he was full of doubts and worries about himself.
He has never been the fearless type!
"Sue, can I ask you a question?"
After Su Dong removed the bandage on his right hand and left hand, he nodded without raising his head, "Okay, just ask."
